Davydenko, who will be seeded seventh at the US Open, captured his third title of the year and buoyed his confidence heading into the final Grand Slam of the year, which starts today at Flushing Meadows.

For Davenport, however, Saturday was another setback for a player who only recently returned to action after a five-month lay-off with a bulging disk in her back.

"If I have to play Monday [today], then I will do everything I can to make sure I make it," said Davenport, who won the US Open title in 1998. "I will probably just rest a lot and won't hit the ball until the warmup before my next match."
